Laura Kuenssberg: Maybe social care would improve is care workers weren't struggling on £18,000 / year.

Rishi Sunak: What if we gave them a SENSE that they're being paid more?

#BBCLauraK: Would you work for £18,000?

Rishi Sunak: Look Laura! My job actually matters!!
If* they weren't struggling...
I honestly can't decide which clip goes better with Rishi Sunak.

The Joker or Ross Gellar.
This tweet hasn't exactly aged well...

Every medical body in the UK said Brexit would damage the NHS. And now they've been proven right.

We're literally talking about life and death.

So I only have TWO WORDS for every pro-Brexit politician and journalist.

Put yourself in my shoes.

I repeatedly cited all the medical experts in the UK who warned that Brexit would get people killed.

The Brexit MPs and politicians still supported it.

And here we are.

There's no discussion to be had with them.
Just **** ***!

Some people are sharing a story of the 4 MEPs charged with corruption, as if it justifies Brexit. 🙄😬

A) They were ACTUALLY arrested over €600,000. Tory Lord Michelle Mone pocketed £29 million and is still at large!
B) None of it cancels out the £100 billion Brexit has cost.
Every time you interpret any flaw in the EU as automatically justifying Brexit, you make it that much harder to not call you stupid.

And I mean that literally... Because that kind of binary thinking means you literally can't process complex concepts.
In 2020 the government admitted the customs docs ALONE would cost businesses £7billion/year.

Imagine seeing €600K was lost on fraud (≈ €100K from UK) and all of it was recovered, and thinking "Yeah, that's worth billions a year. I'm a smart person!"😬 ft.com/content/fbc6f1…

Have Harry & Meghan ever actually hurt people in the UK?

Have they ever deprived poor kids of school meals? Cut people's benefits? Sent covid patients into care homes? Crashed the economy?

So why is there MORE hatred for them than the politicians who did?
#HarryAndMeghanNetflix
i.e.

Harry and Meghan are just celebrities.

Most people assume celebrities are spoiled asshole...
But nobody hates them for it.

So what is it about the first bi-racial couple in the Royal Family that makes them more hated than the MPs who are driving millions into poverty?
People have so many reasons to be angry right now... But we only have a limited amount of energy...

So ask yourself whether your anger is being directed at the wrong place... And if so... Why ?

I tried to avoid using the word "stupid" before 2019 because there's a reason why European Law is a whole course at university.
e.g. You can be a brain surgeon and not know what the Single Market is.

But I'll start keeping THREAD of Brexit arguments that are objectively stupid:
"The news must show the pros & cons of Brexit equally."

‼️STUPID‼️

Even the BBC only admitted they should've covered businesses "less negatively impacted".

Brexit has objectively damaged our economy.

So saying the pros & cons are equal would be LYING!
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
"You don't need to understand the single market to reject political union"
‼️STUPID‼️

If you don't understand the EUs economy benefits you CAN'T make an informed decision.

Benefits = single market = political union:
Shared law-making = no trade barriers!

Was just doing some research on pre-referendum Nigel Farage and saw these tweets were put out one after the other.

12.22: EU immigration makes us less safe

15.11: I'm horrified that someone killed an MP, because they believed EU immigration made us less safe.
@Nigel_Farage
Nigel Farage promised that Brexit would deliver £2-3 billion every year for the fishing industry.
(to the tune of Pirates of the Caribbean for some reason)

But the fishing industry says it's costing them £300 million over 5 years.

Nigel Farage said Brexit would make us £10 billion richer.

Instead Brexit has made us £100 billion poorer.

The main effect of private schools is to give rich kids an advantage over the poorer kids.

They are tools of inequality, ensuring social injustice.

Does that sound like "charity" to you?!!?

No? Then they shouldn't have 'charitable status' or the tax breaks that come with it.
Trolls saying "Femi, you went to private school" in 3, 2...

That's where I learned there are 2 types of privilege:

1️⃣ thinks it deserves it
2️⃣ knows it doesn't

The advantages it gave me weren't deserved and DEFINITELY shouldn't effectively be state subsidised as charity.
We're the 4th most financially unequal country in europe. And the 6th biggest economy in the world.

The money is there to create a fairer society by making sure businesses, individuals and institutions (e.g priv schools) pay their fair share in tax, and "level up" state schools.
